Description
- The present invention relates to an acrylic rubber bale, a method for producing the same, a rubber mixture, and a rubber cross-linked product, more specifically, an acrylic rubber bale excellent in storage stability and processability, a method for producing the same, a rubber mixture obtained by mixing the acrylic rubber bale, and a rubber cross-linked product obtained by cross-linking the same.
- Acrylic rubber is a polymer mainly composed of acrylic acid ester and is generally known as rubber excellent in heat resistance, oil resistance, and ozone resistance, and is widely used in fields related to automobiles.
- Such acrylic rubber is usually commercialized by emulsion-polymerizing the monomer components constituting the acrylic rubber, bringing the obtained emulsion polymerization liquid into contact with a coagulant, drying the resulting hydrous crumbs, and thereafter baling the dried crumbs.
- For example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese patent application publication 2006-328239) discloses a method for producing a rubber polymer comprising: a process to obtain a crumb slurry containing a crumb-shaped rubber polymer by bringing a polymer latex into contact with a coagulant liquid; a process to crush the crumb-shaped rubber polymer contained in the crumb slurry by a mixer having a stirring and crushing function with a stirring power of 1 kW/m3 or greater; a dehydration process to obtain crumb-shaped rubber polymer by removing water from the crumb slurry obtained by crushing the crumb-shaped rubber polymer; and a process to heat and dry the crumb-shaped rubber polymer from which water has been removed, wherein the dried crumb is introduced into a baler in a form of flakes and compressed into bales.
Further Patent Document 1 describes that the maximum width of the crumbs is preferably adjusted to about 3 to 20 mm when the crumbs are crushed by the mixer having a stirring and crushing function. An unsaturated nitrile-conjugated diene copolymer latex obtained by emulsion polymerization is specifically shown as a rubber polymer to be used here, and it is shown to be applicable to polymers composed only of acrylates such as ethyl acrylate/n-butyl acrylate copolymer, ethyl acrylate/n-butyl acrylate/2-methoxyethyl acrylate copolymer. However, there is a problem that the acrylic rubber composed of only acrylate is inferior in cross-linked rubber properties such as heat resistance and compression set resistance. - As the acrylic rubber having a reactive group excellent in the heat resistance and compression set resistance properties for example, Patent Document 2 (International Publication WO 2018/116828 Pamphlet) discloses a method in which a monomer component consisting of ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate and mono-n-butyl fumarate is emulsified with sodium lauryl sulfate as emulsifier, polyethylene glycol monostearate and water, emulsion polymerization is performed in the presence of a polymerization initiator until the polymerization conversion rate reaches 95% to obtain acrylic rubber latex, and add the acrylic rubber latex to an aqueous solution of magnesium sulfate and dimethylamine-ammonia-epichlorohydrin polycondensate which is a polymer flocculant, and thereafter the mixture is stirred at 85° C. to form a crumb slurry, and then after once washing the slurry with water, the entire amount thereof is passed through a 100-mesh wire net to capture only the solid content, thereby to collect crumb-shaped acrylic rubber. Patent Document 2 describes that, according to this method, the obtained crumbs in a hydrous state are dehydrated by centrifugation or the like, dried at 50 to 120° C. by a band dryer or the like, and introduced into a baler to be compressed and baled. However, in such a method, there are a problem that a large amount of semi-coagulated hydrous crumbs is generated in the coagulation reaction so that the generated crumbs adhere to the coagulation tank, a problem that the coagulant and the emulsifier cannot be sufficiently removed by washing, and a problem that water resistance and storage stability are poor, and processability is poor in Banbury and the like.
- Regarding the gel amount of the acrylic rubber, for example, Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Publication 3599962) discloses an acrylic rubber having 5% by weight or less a gel fraction insoluble in acetone, obtained by copolymerizing 95 to 99.9% by weight of an alkyl acrylate or alkoxyalkyl acrylate and 0.1 to 5% by weight of a polymerizable monomer having two or more radically reactive unsaturated groups having different reactivity, in the presence of a radical polymerization initiator, and an acrylic rubber composition composed of reinforcing filler and organic peroxide vulcanizing agent, excellent in extrusion processability such as extrusion speed, die swell and surface texture. The acrylic rubber used here having a very low gel fraction is obtained by adjusting the PH of the polymerization liquid to 6 to 8 with sodium hydrogen carbonate or the like with respect to the acrylic rubber with a high gel fraction (60%) obtained in the normal acidic region (pH4 before polymerization, pH3.4 after polymerization). To be specific, water and an emulsifier composed of sodium lauryl sulfate, polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether, sodium carbonate and boric acid are charged and adjusted to 75° C., then t-butyl hydroperoxide, rongalite, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt, and ferrous sulfate were added (pH at this time was 7.1), and thereafter the monomer components of ethyl acrylate and allyl methacrylate were added dropwise to perform emulsion polymerization, and the obtained emulsion (pH7) was salted out using an aqueous sodium sulfate solution, then washed and dried to obtain an acrylic rubber. However, there is a problem that the acrylic rubber containing a (meth) acrylic acid ester as a main component decomposes in a neutral to alkaline region, so that storage stability and strength properties are inferior even if processability is improved.
- Further, Patent Document 4 (International Publication WO 2018/143101 Pamphlet) discloses a technology in which a (meth) acrylic acid ester and an ion-cross-linkable monomer are emulsion-polymerized, an acrylic rubber which has a complex viscosity ([η] 100° C.) at 100° C. of 3,500 Pa·s or less, and a ratio ([η] 100° C./[η] 60° C.) of the complex viscosity ([η] 60° C.) at 60° C. to the complex viscosity ([η] 100° C.) at 100° C. of 0.8 or less, is used, so that the extrusion moldability of a rubber composition containing a reinforcing agent and a cross-linking agent, in particular, the discharge amount, discharge length and surface texture are enhanced. Further, it is described that the gel amount, which is tetrahydrofuran (THF) insoluble content of the acrylic rubber used in the same technology is 80% by weight or less, preferably 5 to 80% by weight, and preferably exists as much as possible in the range of 70% by weight or less, and when the gel amount is less than 5% by weight, the extrudability deteriorates. Furthermore, it is described that the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the acrylic rubber used is 200,000 to 1,000,000, and when the weight average molecular weight (Mw) exceeds 1,000,000, the viscoelasticity of the acrylic rubber becomes high, which is not preferable. However, the Patent Document 4 does not describe a method for improving processability such as Banbury.

- The present invention has been made in consideration of such actual situation, and the present invention is aimed to provide an acrylic rubber bale excellent in storage stability and processability during kneading by Banbury mixer or the like, a method for producing the same, a rubber mixture containing an acrylic rubber bale, and a rubber cross-linked product of the same.
- As a result of diligent studies conducted by the present inventors in view of the above problems, the present inventors have found out that an acrylic rubber bale having a reactive group and a specific molecular weight, a specific gel amount insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone and a specific pH is highly excellent in storage stability and processability during kneading by Banbury mixer or the like. Further, the present inventors have found out that storage stability and processability are further balanced by specifying the molecular weight distribution of the acrylic rubber bale in the high molecular weight range, a complex viscosity at a specific temperature, and a specific gravity.
- The present inventors have also found out that an acrylic rubber bale, produced by emulsion-polymerizing a monomer component containing (meth) acrylic acid ester as a main component and washing the hydrous crumbs produced by the coagulation reaction, followed by drying to a specific water content with a screw-type extruder and baling, is highly excellent in storage stability and processability.
- Further, the inventors of the present invention have found out that the amount of gel insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone of acrylic rubber is very difficult to control in the production process, and the amount of gel of acrylic rubber bale produced greatly varies and the optimum kneading time such as Banbury kneading varies, so that the physical properties of the rubber mixture and the rubber cross-linked product are impaired. The inventors of the present invention have found out that, in the present invention, in particular, when emulsion polymerization is performed up to a certain degree or more of polymerization conversion ratio in order to improve the strength properties, the amount of gel insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone in the acrylic rubber rapidly increases so that the processability deteriorates, but by using a screw-type extruder to dry the acrylic rubber to a specific water content and melt and knead in a state of containing substantially no water, the amount of gel insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone that has rapidly increased is eliminated, so that the processability of the acrylic rubber bale produced is highly improved and is stabilized with little variation.
- Further, the inventors of the present invention have found out that water resistance can be improved and storage stability can be improved so that processability variation is reduced, as well as ash content in the acrylic rubber bale can be reduced, by providing a dehydration process to squeeze out water from the hydrous crumbs and by specifying the coagulation method of the emulsion polymerization liquid.
- The present inventors have found out that although it is difficult to dry acrylic rubber with a large specific heat to a specific water content in a screw-type extruder, an acrylic rubber vale that having excellent storage stability and processability can be stably produced by specifying temperature of the hydrous crumbs to be charged, water content after dehydration, specific screw-type extruder, and ratio of extrusion rate and rotation speed. In particular, it has been found out that the ratio of the extrusion rate and the rotation speed of a screw-type extruder is relatively large, and under these conditions, an acrylic rubber bale having excellent storage stability and processability can be produced with good productivity.
- The present inventors further have found out that the gel in the acrylic rubber bale is completely different in amount and behavior depending on the type of solvent used, for example, the amount of gel insoluble in tetrahydrofuran and the amount of gel insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone of the acrylic rubber bale do not correlate at all, and the properties of the gel given to the acrylic rubber bale are also different.

- The emulsion polymerization reaction may be a conventional method, and may be a batch method, a semi-batch method, or a continuous method.

The polymerization temperature is usually in the range of 0 to 100° C., preferably 5 to 80° C., more preferably 10 to 50° C., and the polymerization time is usually 0.5 to 100 hours, preferably 1 to 10 hours.
- The polymerization conversion rate of the emulsion polymerization reaction is not particularly limited, but the acrylic rubber bale produced when the polymerization conversion rate is usually 80% by weight or more, preferably 90% by weight or more, more preferably 95% by weight or more, is preferable since the acrylic rubber bale is excellent in strength properties and free of monomer odor. A polymerization terminator may be used for termination of the polymerization.
- (Coagulation Process)
- The coagulation process in the method for producing an acrylic rubber bale according to the present invention is characterized in that the obtained emulsion polymerization liquid is added to the coagulant liquid (coagulant-containing aqueous solution) being stirred to produce hydrous crumbs.
- The solid content concentration of the emulsion polymerization liquid used in the coagulation process is not particularly limited, but it is usually adjusted to be in the range of 5 to 50% by weight, preferably 10 to 45% by weight, more preferably 20 to 40% by weight.
- The coagulant to be used is not particularly limited, but a metal salt is usually used. Examples of the metal salt include, for example, metal salts such as alkali metal salt, periodic table group 2 metal salt, other metal salts, and the like, preferably alkali metal salt and periodic table group 2 metal salt, more preferably periodic table group 2 metal salt, particularly preferably magnesium salt.

When the coagulant is within this range, it is preferable, since the compression set resistance and the water resistance when the acrylic rubber bale is cross-linked can be highly improved while the acrylic rubber is sufficiently coagulated.
- When the concentration of the coagulant in the coagulant liquid to be used is usually in the range of 0.1 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 15% by weight, more preferably 1 to 10% by weight, particularly preferably 1.5 to 5% by weight, it is preferable, since the particle size of the hydrous crumbs generated are uniform and can be focused in a specific region.
- The temperature of the coagulant liquid is not particularly limited, but when it is usually within a range of 40° C. or higher, preferably 40 to 90° C., and more preferably 50 to 80° C., it is preferable, since uniform hydrous crumbs are generated.
- The stirring speed (rotation speed) of the coagulant liquid being stirred, that is, the rotation speed of the stirring blade of the stirring device, is not particularly limited, but it is usually in the range of 100 rpm or higher, preferably 200 to 1,000 rpm, more preferably 300 to 900 rpm, and particularly preferably 400 to 800 rpm. It is preferable that the rotation speed is such a rotation speed that stirring is performed violently to such an extent that the particle size of the hydrous crumbs to be generated can be made small and uniform. Generation of crumbs having excessively large and small particle size can be suppressed by setting the rotation speed to the above-mentioned lower limit or higher, and the coagulation reaction can be more easily controlled by controlling the amount to be equal to or less than the above-mentioned upper limit.
- The peripheral speed of the coagulant liquid being stirred is the speed of the outer circumference of the stirring blade of the stirring device, and is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the above coagulant liquid is vigorously stirred to a certain extent, since the particle size of the hydrous crumbs to be generated can be made smaller and uniform. The above peripheral speed is usually 0.5 m/s or greater, preferably 1 m/s or greater, more preferably 1.5 m/s or greater, particularly preferably 2 m/s or greater, and most preferably 2.5 m/s or greater. On the other hand, although the upper limit of the peripheral speed is not particularly limited, when the peripheral speed is usually 50 m/s or lower, preferably 30 m/s or lower, more preferably 25 m/s or lower, and most preferably 20 m/s or lower, it is preferable, since the coagulation reaction can be easily controlled.
- By specifying the above conditions of the coagulation reaction in the coagulation process (contact method, solid content concentration of emulsion polymerization liquid, concentration and temperature of the coagulant liquid, rotation speed and peripheral speed during stirring of the coagulant liquid) in a specific range, the shape and crumb diameter of the hydrous crumbs to be generated are uniform and focused, and the removal of emulsifiers and coagulants during washing and dehydration is significantly improved, which is preferable.
- (Washing Process)
- The washing process in the method for producing an acrylic rubber bale according to the present invention is a process of washing the generated hydrous crumbs with water.
- The washing method is not particularly limited and may be a conventional method. For example, the generated hydrous crumbs can be washed by mixing with a large amount of water.
- The amount of water to be used is not particularly limited, but when the amount of water with respect to 100 parts by weight of the above-mentioned monomer component per one washing is usually in the range of 50 parts by weight or more, preferably 50 to 15,000 parts by weight, more preferably 100 to 10,000 parts by weight, particularly preferably 150 to 5,000 parts by weight, it is preferable, since the ash content in the acrylic rubber can be effectively reduced.
- The temperature of the water to be used in the washing process is not particularly limited, but hot water is preferably used, and when it is usually in the range of 40° C. or higher, preferably 40 to 100° C., more preferably 50 to 90° C., most preferably 60 to 80° C., it is preferable, since the washing efficiency is remarkably raised.
- By setting the water temperature below the above-mentioned lower limit, the emulsifier and the coagulant are separated from the hydrous crumbs, so that the washing efficiency improves.
- The washing time is not particularly limited, but it is usually in the range of 1 to 120 minutes, preferably 2 to 60 minutes, more preferably 3 to 30 minutes.
- The number of washings is not limited, but is usually 1 to 10 times, preferably a plurality of times, more preferably 2 to 3 times. From the viewpoint of reducing the residual amount of the coagulant in the finally obtained acrylic rubber, it is desirable that the number of times of washing is large, but as described above, the number of washings can be remarkably reduced by specifying the shape of the hydrous crumbs and the hydrous crumb diameter and/or specifying the washing temperature within the above-mentioned range.
- (Dehydration Process)
- In the method for producing an acrylic rubber bale of the present invention, it is preferable to provide a dehydration process to squeeze out water from the above-mentioned hydrous crumbs after washing, before the drying process, since the ash content consisting of emulsifiers and coagulants that could not be removed in the washing process can be reduced, so that the water resistance of the acrylic rubber bale can be remarkably improved and the storage stability and processability can be improved.
- The dehydrator may be any conventional one without particular limitation, and examples thereof include a centrifugal separator, a squeezer, and a screw-type extruder. In particular, the screw-type extruder is preferable, since it can significantly lower the water content of the hydrous crumbs. Water content of the sticky acrylic rubber can usually be dehydrated only up to about 45 to 55% by weight by the centrifugal separator because the acrylic rubber adheres between the walls and slits in the centrifugal separator. Therefore, a mechanism that forcibly squeezes out the water like that of a screw-type extruder is preferable.
- The water content of the hydrous crumbs after dehydration is not particularly limited, but it is usually in the range of 1 to 50% by weight, preferably 1 to 40% by weight, more preferably 10 to 40% by weight, more preferably 15 to 35% by weight. By setting the water content after dehydration to the above-mentioned lower limit or higher, the dehydration time can be shortened and the deterioration of the acrylic rubber can be suppressed, and by setting it to the above-mentioned upper limit or lower, the ash content can be sufficiently reduced.
- (Drying Process)
- The drying process in the method for producing an acrylic rubber bale of the present invention is a process of using a screw-type extruder to dry the hydrous crumbs after the above washing and preferably after dehydration to extrude the dry rubber having a water content of less than 1% by weight.
- The temperature of the hydrous crumbs charged into the screw-type extruder is not particularly limited, but when the temperature is usually in the range of 40° C. or higher, preferably 40 to 100° C., more preferably 50 to 90° C., particularly preferably 55 to 85° C., most preferably 60 to 80° C., it is preferable, since it is possible to securely dry the hydrous crumbs having a large specific heat of 1.5 to 2.5 KJ/kg-K, which is hard to raise the temperature, like the acrylic rubber of the present invention, in the screw-type extruder. In particular, in the present invention, it is important that the hydrous crumbs are dried and melt-kneaded to a substantially water-free state (water content after dehydration described below) in a screw-type extruder, because the gel content of the insoluble methyl ethyl ketone that increases rapidly, especially when the polymerization conversion rate of emulsion polymerization is high is extinguished.
- The drying temperature of the screw-type extruder may be appropriately selected, but when the temperature is usually in the range of 100 to 250° C., preferably 110 to 200° C., more preferably 120 to 180° C., it is preferable, since the acrylic rubber can be efficiently dried without being burnt or deteriorated and the gel amount of the acrylic rubber bale can be reduced. The shape of the dry rubber is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include crumb-shaped, powder-shaped, rod-shaped, sheet-shaped and the like, and among these, the sheet-shaped is preferable, since air is not entrapped so that the acrylic rubber bale (with large specific gravity) excellent in storage stability can be produced.
- The water content of the dry rubber is less than 1% by weight, preferably 0.8% by weight or less, more preferably 0.6% by weight or less.
- (Baling Process)
- The baling process in the method for producing an acrylic rubber bale according to the present invention is a process of baling the obtained dry rubber having a water content of less than 1% by weight.
- The dry rubber can be baled according to a conventional method. For example, the dry rubber can be produced by putting into a baler and compressed. The pressure for compression is appropriately selected according to the purpose of use, but it is usually in the range of 0.1 to 15 MPa, preferably 0.5 to 10 MPa, and more preferably 1 to 5 MPa. The compression time is not particularly limited, but it is usually in the range of 1 to 60 seconds, preferably 5 to 30 seconds, more preferably 10 to 20 seconds.
- In the present invention, it is also possible to make a sheet-shaped dry rubber, laminate the sheets, and integrate them into a bale. The baling by laminating sheets is preferable, since it is easy to produce a bale with few bubbles (has large specific gravity), which is excellent in storage stability, processability and handleability.
- (Dehydration/Drying Process and Baling Process by Screw-Type Extruder)
- In the present invention, it is preferable to perform the dehydration process and the drying process using a screw-type extruder provided with a dehydration barrel having a dehydration slit, a drying barrel that performs the drying under reduced pressure, and a die at the tip end. Further, it is preferable to perform a baling process thereafter. The embodiment is described hereinafter.
- Draining Process
- In the method for producing an acrylic rubber bale of the present invention, it is preferable to provide a draining process of separating free water from the hydrous crumbs after washing with a drainer before shifting from the washing process to the dehydration/drying process, since the dehydration and drying efficiency are improved.
- As the drainer, known ones can be used without particular limitation, and examples thereof include a wire mesh, a screen, an electric sifter, and the like, and the wire mesh and the screen are preferable.
- The opening of the drainer is not particularly limited, but when it is usually in the range of 0.01 to 5 mm, preferably 0.1 to 1 mm, more preferably 0.2 to 0.6 mm, it is preferable, since the loss of hydrous crumbs is small and the draining can be performed efficiently.
- The water content of the hydrous crumbs after draining, which is the water content of the hydrous crumbs to be supplied to the dehydration/drying/molding process is not particularly limited, but it is usually in the range of 50 to 80% by weight, preferably 50 to 70% by weight, more preferably 50 to 60% by weight.
- The temperature of the hydrous crumbs after draining, which is the temperature of the hydrous crumbs to be supplied to the dehydration/drying/molding process is not particularly limited, but it is usually in the range of 40° C. or higher, preferably 40 to 95° C., more preferably 50 to 90° C., particularly preferably 55 to 85° C., most preferably 60 to 80° C.
- Dehydration and Drying in a Dehydration Barrel Section
- Dehydration of hydrous crumbs is performed in a dehydration barrel having a dehydration slit. The opening of the dehydration slit may be appropriately selected according to conditions of use, but when the opening is usually in the range of 0.1 to 1 mm, preferably 0.2 to 0.6 mm, it is preferable, since loss of the hydrous crumbs is small, and dehydration of the hydrous crumbs can be efficiently performed.
- The number of dehydration barrels in the screw-type extruder is not particularly limited, but when the number is usually plural, preferably 2 to 10, more preferably 3 to 6, it is preferable from the viewpoint of efficient dehydration of the sticky acrylic rubber.
- There are two types of dehydration from the hydrous crumbs in the dehydration barrel: liquid removal from the dehydration slit (drainage) and steam removal (steam exhausting). In the present invention, the drainage is defined as dehydration, and the steam exhausting is defined as drying, so that they can be distinguished.
- When using a screw-type extruder provided with a plurality of dehydration barrels, it is preferable to combine drainage (dehydration) and steam exhausting because it is possible to efficiently dehydrate the sticky acrylic rubber and reduce the water content. The selection of each dehydration barrel to be a drainage-type dehydration barrel or a steam-exhausting-type dehydration barrel of a screw-type extruder having three or more dehydration barrels may be appropriately made according to the purpose of use, but in order to reduce the ash content in acrylic rubber that is usually produced, it is preferable to increase the number of drainage-type barrels, for example, two dehydration barrels can be selected as drainage barrels when the screw-type extruder is provided with three dehydration barrels, or three dehydration barrels can be selected as drainage barrels when the screw-type extruder is provided with four dehydration barrels.
- The set temperature of the dehydration barrel is appropriately selected depending on the type of acrylic rubber, the ash content, the water content, the operating conditions, and the like, but it is usually in the range of 60 to 150° C., preferably 70 to 140° C., more preferably 80 to 130° C. The set temperature of the dehydration barrel for dehydration in the drainage state is usually in the range of 60 to 120° C., preferably 70 to 110° C., more preferably 80 to 100° C. The set temperature of the dehydration barrel for drying in the steam exhausting state is usually in the range of 100 to 150° C., preferably 105 to 140° C., more preferably 110 to 130° C.
- The water content after the drainage-type dehydration to squeeze water from the hydrous crumbs is not particularly limited, but when it is usually 1 to 45% by weight, preferably 1 to 40% by weight, more preferably 5 to 35% by weight, particularly preferably 10 to 35% by weight, it is preferable, since the productivity and the ash removal efficiency are highly well-balanced.
- When the dehydration is performed by a centrifuge or the like, dehydration of the sticky acrylic rubber can be hardly done because the acrylic rubber adheres to the dehydration slit portion (the water content is up to about 45 to 55% by weight). In the present invention, the water content can be reduced up to said content by using a screw-type extruder having a dehydrating slit and forcibly squeezes water by a screw.
- When the drainage-type dehydration barrel and the steam-exhausting-type dehydration barrel are provided, the water content of the hydrous crumbs after the dehydration in the drainage-type dehydration barrel section is usually 5 to 45% by weight, preferably 10 to 40% by weight, more preferably 15 to 35% by weight, and the water content of the hydrous crumbs after the preliminary drying in the steam-exhausting-type dehydration barrel section is usually 1 to 30% by weight, preferably 3 to 20% by weight, more preferably 5 to 15% by weight.
- By setting the water content after dehydration to the above-mentioned lower limit or more, the dehydration time can be shortened and the deterioration of acrylic rubber can be suppressed, and by setting it to the above-mentioned upper limit or less, the ash content can be sufficiently reduced.
- Drying in Drying Barrel Section
- The hydrous crumbs dehydrated/dried in the above dehydration barrel section are further dried in the drying barrel section under reduced pressure.
- The degree of pressure reduction of the drying barrel may be appropriately selected, but when it is usually 1 to 50 kPa, preferably 2 to 30 kPa, and more preferably 3 to 20 kPa, it is preferable, since the hydrous crumbs can be efficiently dried.
- The set temperature of the drying barrel may be appropriately selected, but when the temperature is usually in the range of 100 to 250° C., preferably 110 to 200° C., more preferably 120 to 180° C., it is preferable, since there is no burning or deterioration of the acrylic rubber, so that the acrylic rubber is efficiently dried and the amount of gel insoluble in the methyl ethyl ketone in the acrylic rubber can be reduced.
- The number of drying barrels in the screw-type extruder is not particularly limited, but is usually plural, preferably 2 to 10, and more preferably 3 to 8. The degree of pressure reduction in the case of having a plurality of drying barrels may be a degree of pressure reduction similar to that of all the drying barrels, or it may vary by the drying barrel. The set temperature in the case of having multiple drying barrels may be similar to that of all the drying barrels or it may vary by the drying barrel, but when the temperature of the discharge portion (closer to the die) is set higher than the temperature of the introduction portion (closer to the dehydration barrel), it is preferable, since the drying efficiency can be increased. The water content of the dry rubber after drying is usually less than 1% by weight, preferably 0.8% by weight or less, more preferably 0.6% by weight or less.
- In the present invention, by melting and kneading in a state where the water content is substantially free of water in the drying barrel of the screw-type extruder, the amount of gel insoluble in the methyl ethyl ketone that rapidly increased during the emulsion polymerization disappears, so that processability of the acrylic rubber bale during kneading by Banbury mixer or the like is remarkably improved, which is preferable.
- Acrylic Rubber Shape (Die Portion)
- The acrylic rubber dehydrated and dried by the screw portions of the dehydration barrel and the drying barrel is sent to a screwless straightening die portion. A breaker plate or a wire net may or may not be provided between the screw portion and the die portion.
- The extruded acrylic rubber can be obtained in various shapes such as a granular shape, a columnar shape, a round bar shape and a sheet shape depending on the nozzle shape of the die. However, when the acrylic rubber is extruded in a sheet shape by making the die shape into a substantially rectangular shape, it is preferable, since a dry rubber with less entrapment of air and larger specific gravity and excellent storage stability can be obtained.
- The resin pressure in the die portion is not particularly limited, but when the resin pressure is usually in the range of 0.1 to 10 MPa, preferably 0.5 to 5 MPa, and more preferably 1 to 3 MPa, it is preferable, since air entrapment is small and the productivity is excellent.
- Screw-Type Extruder and Operating Conditions
- The screw length (L) of the screw-type extruder to be used may be appropriately selected according to the purpose of use, but it is usually in the range of 3,000 to 15,000 mm, preferably 4,000 to 10,000 mm, more preferably 4,500 to 8,000 mm.
- The screw diameter (D) of the screw-type extruder used may be appropriately selected according to the purpose of use, but it is usually in the range of 50 to 250 mm, preferably 100 to 200 mm, more preferably 120 to 160 mm.
- The ratio (L/D) of the screw length (L) to the screw diameter (D) of the screw-type extruder used is not particularly limited, but when it is usually in the range of 10 to 100, preferably 20 to 80, more preferably 30 to 60, particularly preferably 40 to 50, it is preferable, since the water content can be less than 1% by weight without lowering the molecular weight of the dry rubber or causing burns.
- The rotation speed (N) of the screw-type extruder used may be appropriately selected according to various conditions, but when it is usually in the range of 10 to 1,000 rpm, preferably 50 to 750 rpm, more preferably 100 to 500 rpm, and most preferably 120 to 300 rpm, it is preferable, since the water content and the gel amount of the acrylic rubber can be efficiently reduced.
- The extrusion rate (Q) of the screw-type extruder used is not particularly limited, but is usually in the range of 100 to 1,500 kg/hr, preferably 300 to 1,200 kg/hr, more preferably 400 to 1,000 kg/hr, most preferably 500 to 800 kg/hr.
- The ratio (Q/N) of the extrusion rate (Q) and the number of revolutions (N) of the screw-type extruder used is not particularly limited, but it is usually in the range of 2 to 10, preferably 3 to 8, and more preferably 4 to 6.
- Dry Rubber
- The shape of the dry rubber extruded from the screw-type extruder is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a crumb shape, a powder shape, a rod shape, and a sheet shape, and among these, the sheet shape is particularly preferable.
- The temperature of the dry rubber extruded from the screw-type extruder is not particularly limited, but is usually in the range of 100 to 200° C., preferably 110 to 180° C., more preferably 120 to 160° C.
- The water content of the dry rubber extruded from the screw-type extruder is less than 1% by weight, preferably 0.8% by weight or less, and more preferably 0.6% by weight or less.
- Baling Process
- The baling process after the dehydration and drying process by the screw-type extruder is a process of baling the extruded dry rubber. Baling of the dry rubber may be performed according to a conventional method, for example, it can be produced by putting the dry rubber in a baler and compressing it. The compression pressure of the baler may be appropriately selected according to the purpose of use, but it is usually in the range of 0.1 to 15 MPa, preferably 0.5 to 10 MPa, more preferably 1 to 5 MPa. The compression temperature is not particularly limited, but it is usually in the range of 10 to 80° C., preferably 20 to 60° C., more preferably 30 to 60° C. The compression time may be appropriately selected according to the purpose of use, but it is usually in the range of 1 to 100 seconds, preferably 2 to 50 seconds, more preferably 5 to 25 seconds.
- In the present invention, the sheet-shaped dry rubber can be extruded from the screw-type extruder in the above-mentioned dehydration and drying process, cut as necessary, and then laminate and bale the sheet-shaped dry rubber. The laminated and baled sheet-shaped dry rubber is preferable, since it is easy to produce and the bale contains few bubbles (large specific gravity), so that it is excellent in storage stability. Hereinafter, the mode is shown in which the sheet-shaped dry rubber is extruded from the screw-type extruder and then the sheet is laminated and baled.
- The thickness of the sheet-shaped dry rubber extruded from the screw-type extruder is not particularly limited, but when it is usually in the range of 1 to 40 mm, preferably 2 to 35 mm, more preferably 3 to 30 mm, and most preferably 5 to 25 mm, it is preferable, since it has excellent workability and productivity. In particular, since the thermal conductivity of the sheet-shaped dry rubber is as low as 0.15 to 0.35 W/mK, in order to increase the cooling efficiency and to improve the productivity remarkably, the thickness of the sheet-shaped dry rubber is usually in the range of 1 to 30 mm, preferably 2 to 25 mm, more preferably 3 to 15 mm, and particularly preferably 4 to 12 mm.
- The width of the sheet-shaped dry rubber extruded from the screw-type extruder is appropriately selected according to the purpose of use, but it is usually in the range of 300 to 1,200 mm, preferably 400 to 1,000 mm, more preferably 500 to 800 mm.
- The temperature of the sheet-shaped dry rubber extruded from the screw-type extruder is not particularly limited, but it is usually in the range of 100 to 200° C., preferably 110 to 180° C., more preferably 120 to 160° C.
- The complex viscosity ([η] 100° C.) at 100° C. of the sheet-shaped dry rubber extruded from the screw-type extruder is not particularly limited, but when it is usually in the range of 1,500 to 6,000 Pa·s, preferably 2,000 to 5,000 Pa·s, more preferably 2,500 to 4,000 Pa·s, and most preferably 2,500 to 3,500 Pa·s, it is preferable, since the extrudability and shape retention as a sheet are highly well-balanced. This means that, when the value of the complex viscosity ([η] 100° C.) at 100° C. is higher than the lower limit or higher, the extrudability can be more excellent, and when the value is lower than the upper limit or lower, collapse and breakage of the shape of the sheet-shaped dry rubber can be suppressed.
- In the present invention, the sheet-shaped dry rubber extruded from the screw-type extruder is suitable for laminating and baling after cutting because the amount of air entrapped is small and the storage stability is excellent. The cutting of the sheet-shaped dry rubber is not particularly limited, but since the acrylic rubber of the acrylic rubber bale according to the present invention has strong stickiness, it is preferable that the sheet-shaped dry rubber is cut after cooling the same in order to continuously cut without entrapping air.
- The cutting temperature of the sheet-shaped dry rubber is not particularly limited, but when the temperature is usually 60° C. or lower, preferably 55° C. or lower, more preferably 50° C. or lower, it is preferable, since the cutting property and the productivity are highly well-balanced.
- The complex viscosity ([η] 60° C.) at 60° C. of the sheet-shaped dry rubber is not particularly limited, but when it is usually in the range of 15,000 Pa·s or less, preferably 2,000 to 10,000 Pa·s, more preferably 2,500 to 7,000 Pa·s, and most preferably 2,700 to 5,500 Pa·s, it is preferable, since the cutting can be done continuously without entrapping air.
- The ratio ([η] 100° C./[η] 60° C.) of the complex viscosity ([η] 100° C.) at 100° C. to the complex viscosity ([η] 60° C.) at 60° C. of the sheet-shaped dry rubber is not particularly limited, but when it is usually in the range of 0.5 or more, preferably 0.5 to 0.98, more preferably 0.6 to 0.95, most preferably 0.75 to 0.93, it is preferable, since air entrapment is low, and cutting and productivity are highly well-balanced.
- The method for cooling the sheet-shaped dry rubber is not particularly limited and may be left at room temperature. However, since the sheet-shaped dry rubber has a very low thermal conductivity of 0.15 to 0.35 W/mK, forced cooling such as an air-cooling method under ventilation or cooling, a water-spraying method for spraying water, or a dipping method for immersing in water is preferable for improving productivity, and the air cooling method under ventilation or cooling is particularly preferable.
- By the air-cooling method for sheet-shaped dry rubbers, for example, the sheet-shaped dry rubber can be extruded from a screw-type extruder onto a conveyor such as a belt conveyor and conveyed while being cooled by blowing cold air, so that the sheet-shaped dry rubber can be cooled. The temperature of the cold air is not particularly limited, but is usually in the range of 0 to 25° C., preferably 5 to 25° C., more preferably 10 to 20° C. The length to be cooled is not particularly limited, but it is usually 5 to 500 m, preferably 10 to 200 m, more preferably 20 to 100 m. Although the cooling rate of the sheet-shaped dry rubber is not particularly limited, when it is usually in the range of 50° C./hr or higher, more preferably 100° C./hr or higher, more preferably 150° C./hr or higher, it is preferable, since it is particularly easy to cut.
- The cutting length of the sheet-shaped dry rubber is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected according to the size of the acrylic rubber bale to be produced, but it is usually in the range of 100 to 800 mm, preferably 200 to 500 mm, more preferably 250 to 450 mm.
- The sheet-shaped dry rubber after cutting is laminated and baled. The lamination temperature of the sheet-shaped dry rubber is not particularly limited, but when it is usually 30° C. or higher, preferably 35° C. or higher, and more preferably 40° C. or higher, it is preferable, since air entrapped during lamination can be released. The number of laminated layers may be appropriately selected according to the size or weight of the acrylic rubber bale. The acrylic rubber bale of the present invention is integrated by self weight of the laminated sheet-shaped dry rubber.
- The acrylic rubber bale according to the present invention thus obtained is excellent in operability and storage stability as compared with crumb-shaped acrylic rubber, and the acrylic rubber bale can be used by putting into a mixer such as a Banbury mixer or a roll as it is or after being cut into a required amount.

FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing an example of an acrylic rubber production system having a device configuration used for producing an acrylic rubber bale according to one embodiment of the present invention. For producing the acrylic rubber according to the present invention, for example, the acrylicrubber production system 1 shown inFIG. 1 can be used. - The acrylic rubber production system shown in
FIG. 1 is composed of an emulsion polymerization reactor (not shown), acoagulation device 3, a washing device 4, adrainer 43, a screw-type extruder 5, acooling device 6, and a baling device 7. - The emulsion polymerization reactor is configured to perform the above-mentioned emulsion polymerization process. Although not shown in
FIG. 1 , this emulsion polymerization reactor has, for example, a polymerization reaction tank, a temperature control unit for controlling a reaction temperature, and a stirring device provided with a motor and a stirring blade. In the emulsion polymerization reactor, water and an emulsifier are mixed with a monomer component for forming an acrylic rubber, and the mixture is emulsified while being appropriately stirred by a stirrer, and emulsion polymerization is performed in the presence of a polymerization catalyst, thereby to obtain emulsion polymerization liquid. The emulsion polymerization reactor may be a batch type, a semi-batch type or a continuous type, and may be a tank-type reactor or a tube-type reactor. - The
coagulation device 3 shown inFIG. 1 is configured to perform the process related to the coagulation process described above. As schematically shown inFIG. 1 , thecoagulation device 3 includes, for example, a stirringtank 30, aheating unit 31 that heats the inside of the stirringtank 30, a temperature control unit (not shown) that controls the temperature inside the stirringtank 30, a stirringdevice 34 having amotor 32 and astirring blade 33, and a drive control unit (not shown) that controls the rotation number and the rotation speed of thestirring blade 33. In thecoagulation device 3, hydrous crumbs can be produced by bringing the emulsion polymerization liquid obtained in the emulsion polymerization reactor into contact with the coagulant liquid as a coagulant to coagulate the emulsion polymerization liquid. - In the
coagulation device 3, for example, the contact between the emulsion polymerization liquid and coagulant liquid is performed by adding the emulsion polymerization liquid to the stirred coagulant liquid. This means that the stirringtank 30 of thecoagulation device 3 is filled with the coagulant liquid, and the emulsion polymerization liquid is added to and brought into contact with the coagulant liquid to coagulate the emulsion polymerization liquid, thereby generating hydrous crumbs. - The
heating unit 31 of thecoagulation device 3 is configured to heat the coagulant liquid with which the stirringtank 30 is filled. Further, the temperature control unit of thecoagulation device 3 is configured to control the temperature inside the stirringtank 30 by controlling the heating operation by theheating unit 31 while monitoring the temperature inside the stirringtank 30 measured by a thermometer. The coagulant liquid in the stirringtank 30 is controlled by the temperature control unit to be usually in the range of 40° C. or higher, preferably 40 to 90° C., more preferably 50 to 80° C. - The stirring
device 34 of thecoagulation device 3 is configured to stir the coagulant liquid filled in the stirringtank 30. Specifically, the stirringdevice 34 includes amotor 32 that generates rotational power, and astirring blade 33 that extends in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of themotor 32. The stirringblade 33 can flow the coagulant liquid by rotating about the rotation axis by the rotational power of themotor 32 in the coagulant liquid filled in the stirringtank 30. The shape and size of thestirring blade 33, the number of installations, and the like are not particularly limited. - The drive control unit of the
coagulation device 3 is configured to control the rotational drive of themotor 32 of the stirringdevice 34 and set the rotation speed of thestirring blades 33 of the stirringdevice 34 to predetermined values. The stirring speed of thestirring blade 33 is controlled by the drive controller so that the stirring speed of the coagulant liquid is controlled to be, for example, usually in the range of 100 rpm or more, preferably 200 to 1,000 rpm, more preferably 300 to 900 rpm, and particularly preferably 400 to 800 rpm. The rotation of thestirring blade 33 is controlled by the drive controller so that the peripheral speed of the coagulant liquid is usually 0.5 m/s or higher, preferably 1 m/s or higher, more preferably 1.5 m/s or higher, particularly preferably 2 m/s or higher, most preferably 2.5 m/s or higher. Further, the rotation of thestirring blade 33 is controlled by the drive control unit so that the upper limit of the peripheral speed of the coagulant liquid is usually 50 m/s or lower, preferably 30 m/s or lower, more preferably 25 m/s or lower, and most preferably 20 m/s or lower. - The washing device 4 shown in
FIG. 1 is configured to perform the above-described washing process. As schematically shown inFIG. 1 , the washing device 4 includes, for example, awashing tank 40, aheating unit 41 that heats the inside of thewashing tank 40, and a temperature control unit (not shown) that controls the temperature inside thewashing tank 40. In the washing device 4, by mixing the hydrous crumbs produced in thecoagulation device 3 with a large amount of water for washing, the ash content in the finally obtained acrylic rubber bale can be effectively reduced. - The
heating unit 41 of the washing device 4 is configured to heat the inside of thewashing tank 40. In addition, the temperature control unit of the washing device 4 controls the temperature inside thewashing tank 40 by controlling the heating operation by theheating unit 41 while monitoring the temperature inside thewashing tank 40 measured by the thermometer. As described above, the temperature of the washing water in thewashing tank 40 is controlled to be usually in the range of 40° C. or higher, preferably 40 to 100° C., more preferably 50 to 90° C., and most preferably 60 to 80° C. - The hydrous crumb washed in the washing device 4 is supplied to the screw-
type extruder 5 which performs a dehydration process and a drying process. At this time, it is preferable that the hydrous crumb after washing is supplied to the screw-type extruder 5 through adrainer 43 capable of separating free water. For thedrainer 43, for example, a wire mesh, a screen, an electric sifter, or the like can be used. - Further, when the hydrous crumb after washing is supplied to the screw-
type extruder 5, the temperature of the hydrous crumb is preferably 40° C. or higher, more preferably 60° C. or higher. For example, by setting the temperature of water used for washing in the washing device 4 to 60° C. or higher (for example, 70° C.), so that the temperature of the hydrous crumb when supplied to the screw-type extruder 5 is maintained at 60° C. or higher. Otherwise, the hydrous crumb may be heated to a temperature of 40° C. or higher, preferably 60° C. or higher when being conveyed from the washing device 4 to the screw-type extruder 5. This makes it possible to effectively perform the dehydration process and the drying process, which are the subsequent processes, and to significantly reduce the water content of the finally obtained dry rubber. - The screw-
type extruder 5 shown inFIG. 1 is configured to perform the processes related to the aforementioned dehydration process and the drying process. Although a screw-type extruder 5 is illustrated inFIG. 1 as a suitable example, a centrifuge, a squeezer, or the like may be used as a dehydrator that performs the process related to the dehydration process, and a hot air dryer, a reduced pressure dryer, an expander dryer, a kneader type dryer or the like may be used as a dryer that performs the process related to the drying process. - The screw-
type extruder 5 is configured to mold the dry rubber obtained through the dehydration process and the drying process into a predetermined shape and to discharge the dry rubber. Specifically, the screw-type extruder 5 is provided with: adehydration barrel section 53 having a function as a dehydrator to dehydrate the hydrous crumb washed by the washing device 4; a dryingbarrel section 54 having a function as a dryer for drying the hydrous crumb; and a die 59 having a molding function to mold a hydrous crumb on the downstream side of the screw-type extruder 5. - The configuration of the screw-
type extruder 5 will be described below with reference toFIG. 2 .FIG. 2 shows the configuration of a specific suitable example as the screw-type extruder 5 shown inFIG. 1 . By the screw-type extruder 5, the above-described dehydration process and drying process can be suitably performed. - The screw-
type extruder 5 shown inFIG. 2 is a twin-screw-type extruder/dryer including a pair of screws (not shown) in abarrel unit 51. The screw-type extruder 5 has adrive unit 50 that rotationally drives a pair of screws in thebarrel unit 51. Thedrive unit 50 is attached to an upstream end (left end inFIG. 2 ) of thebarrel unit 51. Further, the screw-type extruder 5 has a die 59 at a downstream end (right end inFIG. 2 ) of thebarrel unit 51. - The
barrel unit 51 has asupply barrel section 52, adehydration barrel section 53, and a dryingbarrel section 54 from the upstream side to the downstream side (from the left side to the right side inFIG. 2 ). - The
supply barrel section 52 is composed of two supply barrels, which are afirst supply barrel 52 a and a second supply barrel 52 b. - Further, the
dehydration barrel section 53 is composed of three dehydration barrels, which are afirst dehydration barrel 53 a, asecond dehydration barrel 53 b and athird dehydration barrel 53 c. - The drying
barrel section 54 includes eight drying barrels, which are afirst drying barrel 54 a, asecond drying barrel 54 b, athird drying barrel 54 c, afourth drying barrel 54 d, afifth drying barrel 54 e, asixth drying barrel 54 f, aseventh drying barrel 54 g, and aneighth drying barrel 54 h. - Thus, the
barrel unit 51 is configured by connecting the 13 dividedbarrels 52 a to 52 b, 53 a to 53 c, and 54 a to 54 h from the upstream side to the downstream side. - Further, the screw-
type extruder 5 has a heating means (not shown) to individually heat each of thebarrels 52 a to 52 b, 53 a to 53 c, and 54 a to 54 h. The hydrous crumbs in each of thebarrels 52 a to 52 b, 53 a to 53 c, and 54 a to 54 h are heated to a predetermined temperature by the heating means. The heating means is provided with a number corresponding to eachbarrel 52 a to 52 b, 53 a to 53 c, and 54 a to 54 h. As such a heating means, for example, a configuration in which high temperature steam is supplied from a steam supply means to a steam distribution jacket formed in eachbarrel 52 a to 52 b, 53 a to 53 c, and 54 a to 54 h is adopted, but the configuration is not limited to this. Further, the screw-type extruder 5 has a temperature control means (not shown) to control the set temperature of each heating means corresponding to eachbarrel 52 a to 52 b, 53 a to 53 c, and 54 a to 54 h. - It should be noted that the number of supply barrels, dehydration barrels, and drying barrels constituting the
barrel sections barrel unit 51 is not limited to the embodiment shown inFIG. 2 , but the number can be set in accordance with the water content of the hydrous crumbs of the acrylic rubber to be dried and the like. - For example, the number of supply barrels installed in the
supply barrel section 52 is, for example, 1 to 3. Further, the number of dehydration barrels installed in thedehydration barrel section 53 is preferably, for example, 2 to 10, and more preferably 3 to 6, since the hydrous crumbs of the sticky acrylic rubber can be efficiently dehydrated. Further, the number of the drying barrels installed in the dryingbarrel section 54 is, for example, preferably 2 to 10, and more preferably 3 to 8. - The pair of screws in the
barrel unit 51 is rotationally driven by a driving means such as a motor stored in the drivingunit 50. The pair of screws, extending from the upstream side to the downstream side in thebarrel unit 51, is rotationally driven so that the pair of screws can convey the hydrous crumbs to the downstream side while mixing the hydrous crumbs supplied to thesupply barrel section 52. The pair of screws is preferably a biaxial meshing type in which peaks and troughs are meshed with each other, whereby the dehydration efficiency and drying efficiency of the hydrous crumbs can be increased. - Further, the rotation direction of the pair of screws may be the same direction or different directions, but from the viewpoint of self-cleaning performance, a type that rotates in the same direction is preferable. The screw shape of the pair of screws is not particularly limited and may be any shape required for each
barrel section - The
supply barrel section 52 is an area for supplying the hydrous crumbs into thebarrel unit 51. Thefirst supply barrel 52 a of thesupply barrel section 52 has afeed port 55 provided therewith for supplying the hydrous crumbs into thebarrel unit 51. - The
dehydration barrel section 53 is an area for separating and discharging a liquid (serum water) containing a coagulant from hydrous crumbs. - The first to third dehydration barrels 53 a to 53 c, constituting the
dehydration barrel section 53, havedehydration slits 56 a, 56 b and 56 c for discharging the moisture of the hydrous crumbs to the outside, respectively. A plurality of dehydratingslits 56 a, 56 b, 56 c are formed in each of the dehydration barrels 53 a to 53 c. - The slit width of each dehydration slit 56 a, 56 b, 56 c, that is, the opening may be appropriately selected according to the use conditions, and is usually 0.01 to 5 mm. From the viewpoint that the loss of the hydrous crumb is small and the dehydration of hydrous crumb can be efficiently performed, it is preferably 0.1 to 1 mm, more preferably 0.2 to 0.6 mm.
- There are two cases to remove water from the hydrous crumbs in the dehydration barrels 53 a to 53 c of the
dehydration barrel section 53, which are a case to remove water in a liquid form from each of the dehydration slits 56 a, 56 b and 56 c and a case to remove water in a vapor state. In thedehydration barrel section 53 of the present embodiment, for distinction of the two cases, the case of removing water in a liquid state is defined as drainage, and the case of removing in a vapor state is defined as steam exhausting. - In the
dehydration barrel section 53, it is preferable to use drainage and steam exhausting in combination, since it is possible to efficiently reduce the water content of the sticky acrylic rubber. In thedehydration barrel section 53, which of the first to third dehydration barrels 53 a to 53 c is to be used for drainage or discharging steam may be appropriately set according to the purpose of use, but it is preferable to increase the number of dehydration barrels for drainage in a case of reducing ash content in usually produced acrylic rubber. In that case, for example, as shown inFIG. 2 , the first and second dehydration barrels 53 a and 53 b on the upstream side perform drainage, and thethird dehydration barrel 53 c on the downstream side performs steam exhausting. Further, for example, when thedehydration barrel section 53 has four dehydration barrels, a mode in which, for example, three upstream dehydration barrels perform drainage and one downstream dehydration barrel performs steam exhausting can be considered. On the other hand, in the case of reducing the water content, it is advantageous to increase the number of dehydration barrels for steam exhausting. - The set temperature of the
dehydration barrel section 53 is usually in the range of 60 to 150° C., preferably 70 to 140° C., and more preferably 80 to 130° C., as described in the dehydration/drying process above. The set temperature of the dehydration barrel for dehydration in the drainage state is usually in the range of 60 to 120° C., preferably 70 to 110° C., more preferably 80 to 100° C., and the set temperature of the dehydration barrel for dehydration in the steam exhausting state is usually in the range of 100 to 150° C., preferably 105 to 140° C., more preferably 110 to 130° C. - The drying
barrel section 54 is an area for drying the hydrous crumbs after dehydration under reduced pressure. Out of the first to eighth drying barrels 54 a to 54 h forming the dryingbarrel section 54, thesecond drying barrel 54 b, thefourth drying barrel 54 d, thesixth drying barrel 54 f, and theeighth drying barrel 54 h are provided withvent ports vent ports - A vacuum pump (not shown) is connected to the end of each vent pipe, and the inside of the drying
barrel section 54 is depressurized to a predetermined pressure by the operation of these vacuum pumps. The screw-type extruder 5 has pressure control means (not shown) for controlling the operation of the vacuum pumps and controlling the degree of pressure reduction in the dryingbarrel section 54. - The degree of pressure reduction in the drying
barrel section 54 may be appropriately selected, but as described above, it is usually set to 1 to 50 kPa, preferably 2 to 30 kPa, and more preferably 3 to 20 kPa. - The set temperature in the drying
barrel section 54 may be appropriately selected, but as described above, it is usually set to 100 to 250° C., preferably 110 to 200° C., and more preferably 120 to 180° C. - In each of the drying barrels 54 a to 54 h forming the drying
barrel section 54, the temperature thereof may be set to an approximate value of all the drying barrels 54 a to 54 h or different values, but it is preferable to set the temperature of the downstream side (the side of the die 59) higher than the temperature of the upstream side (the side of the dehydration barrel section 53), since the drying efficiency is improved. - The
die 59 is a mold arranged at the downstream end of thebarrel unit 51 and has a discharge port having a predetermined nozzle shape. The acrylic rubber dried in the dryingbarrel section 54 passes through the discharge port of the die 59 to be extruded into a shape corresponding to the predetermined nozzle shape. The acrylic rubber passing through thedie 59 is formed into various shapes such as a granular shape, a columnar shape, a round bar shape, and a sheet shape depending on the nozzle shape of thedie 59. For example, by forming the discharge port of the die 59 into a substantially rectangular shape, the acrylic rubber can be extruded into a sheet shape. A breaker plate or a wire net may or may not be provided between the screw and thedie 59. - According to the screw-
type extruder 5 according to the present embodiment, the hydrous crumbs of the raw material acrylic rubber are extruded into a sheet-shaped dry rubber in a following way. - The hydrous crumbs of acrylic rubber obtained through the washing process is supplied to the
supply barrel section 52 from thefeed port 55. The hydrous crumb supplied to thesupply barrel section 52 is sent from thesupply barrel section 52 to thedehydration barrel section 53 by rotation of a pair of screws in thebarrel unit 51. In thedehydration barrel section 53, as described above, the water contained in the hydrous crumbs is drained or the steam is discharged from the dehydration slits 56 a, 56 b, and 56 c provided in the first to third dehydration barrels 53 a to 53 c, respectively, so that the hydrous crumbs are dehydrated. - The hydrous crumbs dehydrated in the
dehydration barrel section 53 is sent to the dryingbarrel section 54 by rotation of a pair of screws in thebarrel unit 51. The hydrous crumbs sent to the dryingbarrel section 54 are plasticized and mixed to form a melt, which is conveyed to the downstream side while being heated. Then, the water contained in the melt of the acrylic rubber is vaporized, and the water (vapor) is discharged to the outside through vent pipes (not shown) connected to thevent ports - By passing through the drying
barrel section 54 as described above, the hydrous crumbs are dried to become a melt of acrylic rubber, so that the acrylic rubber is supplied to the die 59 by the rotation of a pair of screws in thebarrel unit 51, and is extruded from the die 59 as a sheet-shaped dry rubber. - Hereinafter, an example of operating conditions of the screw-
type extruder 5 according to the present embodiment will be described. - The rotation speed (N) of the pair of screws in the
barrel unit 51 may be appropriately selected according to various conditions, and is usually 10 to 1,000 rpm, and since the water content and the gel amount of the acrylic rubber bale can be efficiently reduced, the rotation speed (N) of the pair of screws in thebarrel unit 51 is preferably 50 to 750 rpm, more preferably 100 to 500 rpm, and most preferably 120 to 300 rpm. - The extrusion rate (Q) of the acrylic rubber is not particularly limited, but it is usually 100 to 1,500 kg/hr, preferably 300 to 1,200 kg/hr, more preferably 400 to 1,000 kg/hr, and most preferably 500 to 800 kg/hr.
- The ratio (Q/N) of the extrusion amount (Q) of the acrylic rubber to the rotation speed (N) of the screw is not particularly limited, but it is usually 1 to 20, preferably 2 to 10, and more preferably 3 to 8, and particularly preferably 4 to 6.
- The
cooling device 6 shown inFIG. 1 is configured to cool the dry rubber obtained through the dehydration process using a dehydrator and the drying process using a dryer. As a cooling method by thecooling device 6, various methods including an air cooling method in which air is blown or under cooling, a water spraying method in which water is sprayed, a dipping method in which water is immersed, and the like can be adopted. Otherwise, the dry rubber may be cooled by leaving it at room temperature. - As described above, the dry rubber discharged from the screw-
type extruder 5 is extruded into various shapes such as a granular shape, a columnar shape, a round bar shape and a sheet shape depending on the nozzle shape of thedie 59. Hereinafter, as an example of thecooling device 6, a transport-type cooling device 60 that cools the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 will be described with reference toFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 3 shows a configuration of a conveyor-type cooling device 60 suitable as thecooling device 6 shown inFIG. 1 . The conveyor-type cooling device 60 shown inFIG. 3 is configured to cool the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 discharged from the discharge port of thedie 59 of the screw-type extruder 5 by an air cooling method while conveying the sheet-typedry rubber 10. By using this conveyor-type cooling device 60, the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 discharged from the screw-type extruder 5 can be suitably cooled. - The conveyor-
type cooling device 60 shown inFIG. 3 is used, for example, directly connected to the die 59 of the screw-type extruder 5 shown inFIG. 2 or installed close to thedie 59. - The conveyor-
type cooling device 60 is provided with aconveyor 61 that conveys the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 discharged from thedie 59 of the screw-type extruder 5 in the direction of arrow A inFIG. 3 , and a cooling means 65 for blowing cool air to the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 on theconveyor 61. - The
conveyor 61 hasrollers conveyor belt 64 that is wound around theserollers dry rubber 10 is placed. - The
conveyor 61 is configured to continuously convey the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 discharged from thedie 59 of the screw-type extruder 5 onto theconveyor belt 64 to the downstream side (right side inFIG. 3 ). - The cooling means 65 is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include a cooling means that has a structure capable of blowing cooling air sent from a cooling air generation means (not shown) onto the surface of the sheet-shaped
dry rubber 10 on theconveyor belt 64. - The length L1 of the
conveyor 61 and the cooling means 65 (the length of the portion to which the cooling air can be blown) of thetransport cooling device 60 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 10 to 100 m, preferably 20 to 50 m. Further, the conveyance speed of the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 in the conveyor-type cooling device 60, which can be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the length L1 of theconveyor 61 and the cooling means 65, the discharge speed of the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 discharged from thedie 59 of the screw-type extruder 5, a target cooling speed, a target cooling time, and the like, is, for example, 10 to 100 m/hr, and more preferably 15 to 70 m/hr. - According to the conveyor-
type cooling device 60 shown inFIG. 3 , the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 discharged from thedie 59 of the screw-type extruder 5 is conveyed by theconveyor 61 while the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 is cooled by the cooling means 65 by blowing the cooling air to the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10. - It should be noted that the conveyor-
type cooling device 60 is not particularly limited to the configuration including oneconveyor 61 and one cooling means 65 as shown inFIG. 3 , but it may be configured to be provided with two ormore conveyors 61 and two or more cooling means 65 corresponding thereto. In that case, the total length of each of the two ormore conveyors 61 and the cooling means 65 may be set within the above range. - The baling device 7 shown in
FIG. 1 is configured to process a dry rubber extruded from a screw-type extruder 5 and cooled by acooling device 6 to produce a bale, which is shaped in a chunk of a block. As described above, the screw-type extruder 5 can extrude dry rubber into various shapes such as granular, columnar, round bar-shaped, and sheet-shape, and the baling device 7 is configured to bale the dry rubber formed in various shapes. The weight and shape of the acrylic rubber bale produced by the baling device 7 are not particularly limited, but, for example, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped acrylic rubber bale weighing about 20 kg is produced. - The baling device 7 may include, for example, a baler, and an acrylic rubber bale may be produced by compressing cooled dry rubber with the baler.
- Further, when the sheet-shaped
dry rubber 10 is produced by the screw-type extruder 5, an acrylic rubber bale made by laminating the sheet-shapeddry rubbers 10 may be produced. For example, a cutting mechanism for cutting the sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 may be provided in the baling device 7 provided on the downstream side of the conveyor-type cooling device 60 shown inFIG. 3 . Specifically, for example, the cutting mechanism of the baling device 7 is configured to continuously cuts the cooled sheet-shapeddry rubber 10 at predetermined intervals and processes it into a cut sheet-shapeddry rubber 16 having a predetermined size. By laminating a plurality of cut sheet-shapeddry rubbers 16 cut into a predetermined size by the cutting mechanism, an acrylic rubber bale in which the cut sheet-shapeddry rubbers 16 are laminated can be produced. - When producing an acrylic rubber bale in which the cut sheet
dry rubbers 16 are laminated, it is preferable to laminate the cut sheetdry rubbers 16 at 40° C. or higher, for example. By laminating the cut sheetdry rubbers 16 at 40° C. or higher, good air release is realized by further cooling and compression by its own weight. - The present invention will be described more specifically below with reference to Examples, and Comparative Examples. In addition, “part”, “%” and “ratio” in each example are based on weight unless otherwise specified. Various physical properties were evaluated according to the following methods.

- Further, the content ratio of each monomer unit in the acrylic rubber was calculated from the amount of each monomer used in the polymerization reaction and the polymerization conversion rate. Specifically, the content ratio of each monomer unit was regarded as the same as the amount of each monomer used, since the polymerization reaction was an emulsion polymerization reaction, and the polymerization conversion rate was about 100% in which no unreacted monomer could be confirmed.
- [Reactive Group Content]
- The content of the reactive group of the acrylic rubber was measured by measuring the content in the acrylic rubber bale by the following method:

- [Gel Amount]
- The gel amount (%) of the acrylic rubber bale is the amount of insoluble matter in methyl ethyl ketone, and was determined by the following method:
- About 0.2 g of acrylic rubber bale was weighed (X g), immersed in 100 ml of methyl ethyl ketone, left at room temperature for 24 hours, and then a filtrate in which only the rubber component soluble in methyl ethyl ketone was dissolved, was obtained by filtering out the insoluble matter in methyl ethyl ketone using an 80 mesh wire net. The dry solid content (Y g) obtained by evaporating and drying and coagulating the filtrate was weighed, and the gel amount was calculated by the following formula.
-

- The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the acrylic rubber constituting the acrylic rubber bale was measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC, product name “X-DSC7000”, manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation).
- [pH]
- The pH of the acrylic rubber bale was measured with a pH electrode after dissolving 6 g (±0.05 g) of acrylic rubber in 100 g of tetrahydrofuran and adding 2.0 ml of distilled water to confirm that the acrylic rubber was completely dissolved.
- [Water Content]
- The water content (%) of the acrylic rubber bale was measured according to JIS K6238-1: Oven A (volatile content measurement) method.
- [Molecular Weight and Molecular Weight Distribution]
- The weight average molecular weight (Mw) and the molecular weight distribution (Mz/Mw) of the acrylic rubber are an absolute molecular weight and an absolute molecular weight distribution, respectively, measured by the GPC-MALS method in which a solution in which 0.05 mol/L of lithium chloride and 37% concentrated hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 0.01% are added to dimethylformamide is used as a solvent. To be specific, a multi-angle laser light scattering photometer (MALS) and a refractive index detector (RI) were incorporated into a GPC (Gel Permeation Chromatography) device, and the light scattering intensity and the difference in the refractive index of the molecular chain solution size-separated were measured by the GPC device by following the elution time, so that the molecular weight of the solute and its content rate were sequentially calculated and determined. Measurement conditions and measurement methods of the GPC device are as follows:
- Column: TSKgel α-M 2 pieces (φ7.8 mm×30 cm, manufactured by Tosoh Corporation)
- Flow Rate: 0.8 ml/mm

- From Table 2, it can be understood that the content of the reactive groups in the acrylic rubber bales (A) to (F) of the present invention is maintained at a high level, and the reactive groups are not removed under the production conditions of the Examples of the present application. This shows high cross-linking physical properties including normal physical properties.
- From Table 2, it can be understood that the acrylic rubber bales (A) to (F) and the crumb-shaped acrylic rubber (G) produced under the conditions of Examples and Comparative Example of the present application are excellent in handleability of the acrylic rubber bale and in normal physical properties including and breaking strength to maintain strength, since the weight average molecular weight (Mw) measured by the absolute molecular weights measured by GPC-MALS exceeded 100,000, and in addition, since the ratio (Mz/Mw) of the Z-average molecular weight (Mz) and the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the absolute molecular weight distribution focused on the high molecular weight region measured by GPC-MALS is much larger than 1.3 (Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1). However, it can be understood that the crumb-shaped acrylic rubber (G) of Comparative Example 1 shows a variation in gel amount and is insufficient in storage stability, processability, and water resistance.
- Regarding the variation in the amount of gel, the amount of gel insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone at 20 points arbitrarily selected was measured, and it was determined whether or not all the measured values at 20 points were included within the range of the average value ±3, or whether or not all the measured values at 20 points were included within the range of the
average value ± 5. It can be understood that the acrylic rubber bales (A) to (F) of the present invention are overwhelmingly superior to the crumb-shaped acrylic rubber (G) in variation, specifically, the variation in the amount of gel insoluble in the methyl ethyl ketone in the acrylic rubber bale is small (comparison between Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1). The amount of gel insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone directly affects the processability of Banbury and the like, and if the amount of gel insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone changes, it is not preferable, since the physical properties of the rubber mixture and the rubber cross-linked product will be deteriorated as a result of the variation. In contrast, the acrylic rubber bales (A) to (F) of the present invention can provide a stable rubber mixture or rubber cross-linked product without variations in the amount of gel insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone. - Regarding processability, it can be understood that although the polymerization conversion rate of emulsion polymerization is increased in the present invention, in order to maintain the strength properties of the acrylic rubber bale, causing the amount of gel insoluble in the methyl ethyl ketone to be rapidly increased so that the processability of the acrylic rubber is deteriorated, the rubber was dried in the screw-type extruder to a substantially water-free state (water content less than 1%) and melted and kneaded, so that the gel insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone that rapidly increased disappeared, thereby making processability and strength of the acrylic rubber bale highly well-balanced (comparison between Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1).
- Regarding storage stability and water resistance, it can be understood from Table 2 that the acrylic rubber bales (A) to (F) of the present invention are overwhelmingly superior to the crumb-shaped acrylic rubber (G) (comparison between Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1). This teaches us that the emulsion polymerization liquid was added to the coagulant liquid being stirred in the coagulation process to generate the hydrous crumbs easy to remove the emulsifier and coagulant, that the ash content in acrylic rubber bale was reduced by squeezing out water from the hydrous crumbs to specific water content in the dehydration process, and that the ash remaining in the acrylic rubber bale in the case that phosphate ester salt is used as the emulsifier and magnesium salt is used as the coagulant has a large content of magnesium and phosphorus, and the both have a specific ratio, the storage stability and water resistance of the acrylic rubber bales (A) to (F) are remarkably improved, since the water resistance is hardly effected (Examples 1 to 6). Further, the pH of the acrylic rubber bales (A) to (F) of the present invention is 4 to 5, and the reactive group content was stable without a great change before and after the storage stability test, such as loss of carboxyl group, epoxy group and chlorine atom, or increase of carboxyl group due to removal of ester part of (meth) acrylate after storage stability test.
- Further, it can be understood from Table 2 that the acrylic rubber bales (A) to (F) having the amount of reactive groups, the specific gravity, the amount of gel insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone, the glass transition temperature (Tg), the pH, the water content, the weight average molecular weight (Mw), the ratio (Mz/Mw) of the Z-average molecular weight (Mz) and the weight average molecular weight (Mw), the complex viscosity η(100° C.) at 100° C., the complex viscosity η(60° C.) at 60° C., the ratio of complex viscosities at 100° C. and 60° C. (η100° C./η60° C.) within a specific range are excellent in variation of the amount of gel insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone, storage stability, processability, water resistance, and normal physical properties including the strength properties (Examples 1 to 6).
- A crumb-shaped acrylic rubber (H) was obtained in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that 1.8 parts of tridecyloxyhexaoxyethylene phosphate sodium salt was used as the emulsifier and magnesium sulfate was used as the coagulant. The ash content of the crumb-shaped acrylic rubber (H) was measured to be much higher than 1%, and it was found out that when phosphate ester salt was used as an emulsifier and magnesium sulfate was used as a coagulant, the ash was not sufficiently removed only by washing. Compared to the method of Comparative Example 2, the acrylic rubber bales (A) to (F) of the present invention generated the hydrous crumbs easier to remove the ash by washing and dehydration, by employing a specific coagulation method and a specific concentration of the coagulant and increasing the stirring speed, and the ash content was largely reduced by dehydrating after washing with hot water, so that the water resistance and the storage stability were improved.
